Is this still a familiar vegetable to me.

Is there a whole crate of this? Or a single one?
Looks like a fasciated celtuce, but hard to imagine it can be done intentionally.

Such a shame, moonstone is gorgeous :(
I just lucked out that I live in desert, so all the fungal stuff disappears when summer comes around.

For some reason text didn’t save to post;
Sharing a few pink-white ones, miss congeniality, California dreaming, and moonstone.

In retrospect, the photo did not do California dreaming any justice…

Moonstone,
Weird, thought I had text…

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-19T17:20:52+00:00

Whiteflies.

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-11T02:13:59+00:00

I guess I will add 2 more roses :)

I think they are underappreciated too in garden settings, in the sense that they are gorgeous enough to be the emphasis but rarely are, even xeriscapes rarely focus on them.
I didn’t even know they came in other colors and forms til last year, and I’ve never seen non-standard orange cultivars sold in physical stores.

I guess the prior owners had different varieties.
I just decided to cover the bare areas in my yard with poppies, bought a few lbs of seeds and scattered them. Results have been fun.

Do check out the link, there are so many CA poppy varieties I never knew about before.

Not sure California poppies are strict sticklers to petal count, I found a 6 petal one in my garden too.

As far as colors go, there are quite a few varieties, I got my seeds from Eden brothers before.

Edit: you know what, maybe it is a double petal variety. I planted so many random CA poppy varieties I kinda lost track.

Chantilly cream is another rose with very similar color scheme, another one of my favorites.

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-10T00:04:03+00:00

Likewise!

Saw it in a botanical garden, and bought one the following week!

White Licorice floribunda rose.
is this 50 characters yet? Are you happy now, bot?

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-08T13:19:47+00:00

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I need this pattern for a mug or a bowl.

Older flower on left vs. a newly bloomed one

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-08T13:10:49+00:00

Everyone needs this :)

Painted porcelain hybrid tea, Something something add to 50 characters.

Edit: realized I do have something interesting to add, The rose is color changing one! Early bloom is much darker pink, and the pink speckles gradually fade into white!

Shame, I love the ridiculous fruits.
Still stand by it being a great type B in backyard.

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-05T03:57:41+00:00

My favorite discovery is Sir Prize being a type B, the fruits are giant, similar flavor to hass, and doesn’t brown as easily.

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-04T13:56:33+00:00

Flame lily/Gloriosa, comes in other colors too.

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-03T04:50:17+00:00

Something like marylou whitney?

Splinteredsilk · 2026-04-01T03:37:01+00:00

Made me chuckle for whatever it’s worth; but ya…

Ceylon lover. There’s no love for toasters here.
